Law Scholarships Part 2

Scholarships are awarded by the Scholarship Committee based on an individual
review of a student’s College of Law application materials and financial aid
report
(FAFSA). Scholarships are administered within a flexible framework which
seeks to implement the College of Law’s objectives of recruiting and retaining
students of high academic achievement and promise.

Scholarships containing specific directions established by the donor or WVU for award
or renewal are awarded by the Scholarship Committee in accordance with the requirements
of the scholarship document. The requirements will be explained in each of the
scholarships listed below. If the requirements for renewal are not listed within
the scholarship, then the scholarship can be renewed yearly at the discretion of
the College of Law with continued qualifying academic performance. College of Law
grades recorded for the fall semester will be used to renew scholarships unless
prohibited by the donor. Since the earnings on endowed scholarships may fluctuate
from year to year with changes in the stock market, scholarship amounts for those
endowments may also vary.

Additionally, scholarship recipients are required to meet grade achievement requirements
provided both in the scholarship and by WVU. If a scholarship recipient does not
meet these requirements for continuation of such scholarship, the scholarship will
be forfeited. However, extenuating circumstances, such as illness, will be considered
by the Scholarship Committee if the student provides a written explanation of pertinent
circumstances

The Scholarship Award Policy may be amended without notice at any time.

fees and books to first year, full time students enrolled in the College of Law.

grant, it is preferred that the first year recipient who remains a full time student
in the College, maintains a B average and meets other criteria for continued eligibility
